[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] k2buckley:
Damn, you already ordered a new phone?! Evo's are hard to brick. If you can still get to your bootloader, you're not bricked. What happens when you select recovery? Do you boot into recovery, or does it hang? If you're lucky enough to still get into recovery, then you probably just need to reflash a rom, any rom. If you don't have recovery, but can get to the bootloader, and have s-off, then you just need to reflash a recovery. You can do that from the bootloader, (providing you are indeed s off). Load a PC36IMG of Amon Ra's recovery to the main directory of your sd card. You'll need to take your sd card out, and put it in a different phone or in a card reader in order to transfer the file. Once it's on the main directory of your sd card, and you're positive that it's named exactly PC36IMG, put the card back in your phone. Boot to the bootloader, at this point it should scan and ask you to update. Select volume up to choose yes. That'll flash Amon Ra recovery V2.3. Once that finishes, select 'recovery' from the bootloader. That should boot you to Amon Ra. From that point, you can flash a rom using the recovery. You'd just need to load a rom to the sd card, if you don't have one on there already. Hope that helps.

And if you're bootloader is not S off, and shows S on, don't do any of the above. At that point, you'd want to run an RUU or flash a PC36IMG of a stock rom, (same directions as flashing the PC36IMG from above). That will flash you back to stock, unrooted. At that point, you could try rooting again if you want to. FInd RUU's here. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=884060&highlight=hboot-0.97+ruu

EDIT: the PC36IMG I attatched is Amon Ra recovery, V2.3, if you should need a recovery. And damn, when I started replying, no one had responded. I'm so slow!

thats cool man. ok, so i did everything you said to do but i dont no exactly how to load a ROM onto my phone. (thats how i got in this bull**** now, lol) the issue that i have is not knowing exactly what .zip file i need to apply. can you jus find a theme and post the EXACT thing i need to download and like step by step instructions on how to install it..? if that doesnt work after that, then im pretty much ****ed, lol.

ok, cool. yea man, i really dont kno wat the **** is goin on, lol. a theme, a ROM, watever..!! i jus want my phone to work, dude im dyin over here without it.. lol
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] k2buckley:
Okay. You said you did what I suggested before, but what part? Did you get the amon RA recovery installed, or did you run the RUU. If you got the recovery installed, and you're s off, then you just need to flash a rom. Go to the development section and pick one out, download it, and put it on the main directory of your SD card. Then boot into recovery. Wipe data, cache, and dalvik cache. select flash zip from SD card, and then choose the rom that you put on the card. Let it flash. When its done, reboot the phone. If we aren't on the same page, let me know. I'm on the road right now, so I'm sorry if delayed. Teh roxx will take care of ya.

all i need is a ROM and i need EXACT instructions how to install and all that good stuff.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] adaniels1189:
i did everything you said. i didnt use the RUU thing but i did the other one. i jus need to kno wat ROM to download. i dont wanna look for one cuz i dont kno exactly wat im lookin for.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] heythatsghetto:
it sounds like he has a recovery installed if he managed to flash a theme. someone just link him to a PC36IMG of a rom and have him do it that way... i think this guy MIGHT even be able to figure that out

[HTC Inspire 4G] colbur87:
I have been tweaking my device. I have currently set up specific profiles within setcpu. My question lies here: Is there any thing to worry about while using profiles? I always thought that in general you should not jump the voltage up and down on a single boot. But with the profiles, I have it under-volted when sleeping, and slight over-volted when screen on. I was just wanted to know if frequent switching like that was ok.

Thanks so much

Hi,

I want to manually create backups of all important partitions on my I9023 via dd and need a list of /dev/block devices I have to backup. Could anyone give or point me to a list? Are they all bs=4096?

Thanks in advance.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] commander2k:
Well, I suppose I wouldn't be buying this phone for me, but for my mother. I currently have the captivate, all tricked out with custom roms, software, OC/UV, and ext4 and what not, and its smooth and beautiful. Has anyone had another high end device and switched to this? I'm just curious how it stacks up, and how you think this phone will be in the future. I know the captivate had a lot of issues when it was first out, but those were pretty quickly fixed (which I assume will be the same for this phone). I suppose one concern is that I had the backflip prior to the captivate, and I'm sketchy about motorola. They had the phone SO locked down it was ridiculous. And it turned out to be a huge flop and a POS. But anyways, opinions and advice would be hugely appreciated! Compared to other AT&T phones, the only other real competitors are the Inspire (not liking specs so much) and the captivate.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Clienterror:
Had a cappy running Paragon 6 with 1.4 OC, my Atrix is way faster (and GPS actually works). It has DDR2 ram which makes it fly. One thing you notice is even with an OC on ANY single core phone you'll notice slow down when you are doing multiple things such as installing while doing something else or if something is syncing, with the Atrix these slow downs/bogs really don't exist. I am completely happy with my Atrix, do I wish I could load a custom rom/kernel and OC it right now? Hell yes, but even going from a totally pimped out cappy to this (Stock?) Atrix I'm more than satisfied. Also the fingerprint reader on the Atrix is awesome :p .

As far as the Inspire it was a decent phone, when it came out 8 months ago as the Desire HD. I had an Inspire before the Atrix and here's my personal opinions. I love the bigger screen (But the atrix has a higher res), it OC's to 1.8 ghz...that's about it. As for the bad, battery life is so-so to terrible...I had it so it only used about 1-2% an hour with the screen off BUT with the screen on it was like 20% an hour (Browsing web, gaming ext.) where the Atrix is like 10% or less an hour. Ram is ok, it's DDR vs DDR2 on the Atrix (Atrix also has 1 gig of ram vs 700+ on the inspire) and I see a difference. The speaker sucks on the Inspire and call quality was lower. As far as the 1.8 OC, it destroys the already weak battery this thing has AND it still bogs when multi tasking (No real way around this being a single core).

So like I said in all honesty the Inspire was a great phone 8 months ago when it came out, but vs the Atrix it just seems to fall in it's shadow. One other thing is Inspire has CM7 but 2.3 really doesn't have any major improvements over 2.2 (2.1 to 2.2 brought JIT which rocked) so I'd like to have 2.3 but it's kinda not a big deal IMO.

Hope this helps, this is just my .02 between the two but obviously I kept the Atrix past 30 days so I've made my choice.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] commander2k:
Well thank you very much for the really fast and reeeeally detailed response!! Yeah I have my captivate running Darky with 1.4 OC and whatnot. Super smooth, but I understand what you're saying. I do notice a substantial slow down pretty much only when installing things, but with the dual cores kicking in... beautiful lol. I actually see some ROMs already out there, well... like two. I'm sure this phone is going to get a lot of attention.

How did you feel about the Inspire next to the captivate? I don't really care for the battery drain or the specs... My personal opinion.

And I agree, they have cm7 or something like that out for the captivate, doesn't seem stable enough for me, plus I like the features on my current rom more haha.

So my mom went and bought a phone without me, the stupid sales person sold her the Inspire... Which I suppose isn't terrible, I just like the captivate and atrix more. I actually want the atrix for myself now, so I may end up giving my mom my captivate and stealing her upgrade. They want to charge me a $200 early upgrade fee!! It seems a bit steep, and I know I can't find it cheaper anywhere else. A few concerns that maybe you can address if you'd be so kind:

I love the Super amoled screen on the captivate. Is it a harsh change to lcd? Am I correct that the resolution is higher though in the atrix?

The home screen... I hate how the buttons change when you scroll. Is that changeable or would you have to install a new one altogether?

Motoblur: it was absolutely TERRIBLE for the backflip. Although I think most of that was because it was underpowered. Can you turn it off? Do you like it? (I'm sure they've made changes) How does the phone handle it?
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] commander2k:
Oh AND, do you know if it uses the entire 1Gb of ram? I know that isn't the case in most phones.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Clienterror:
In all honesty the inspire feels like the captivate should have out of the box except with worse battery and volume.

I'll be honest, motoblur sucks in my opinion, it isn't as bad as some people make it out to be but it still sucks lol. But since I was running custom roms on the captivate since forever I just loaded go launcher like I did on my captivate and used TiBu to freeze anything motoblur related and your good to go. It takes about 10 minutes to do this. I had a, backflop for about 2 days with 1.6 so I feel you on how slow it was. I'd say with motoblur it isnt sd low persay but you will notice it pick up with a new launcher and freezing apps.

As far as the screen, it is bright but not as sun burning bright as a captivate (I don't miss turning on the screen at 1am in bed and being blinded for the next ten minutes lol). I didn't have a problem with the screen change as the captivates colors are super saturated where as the atrix is a tad washed out, so it's personal preference. I do notice the screen resolution difference in movies tho, I feel the atrix is better. But I've also never ran into an issue where I couldn't see the atrix screen in the sun.

One other thing is the docking and hdmi you gain on the atrix, playing star fox 64 on a 50" tv in 720p with a miimote rocks lol.

The atrix does use all 1 gig of ram (more like 800 because the system reserves some like every other phone) and it's ddr2 not ddr like other phones which I think is why it's also so fast. Also since it has so much ram it holds like 20 apps in memory with 200ish always free so most common apps you load are instant. It's funny because I'll listen to pandora on the way to work at 8 and it's still loaded when I leave work at 4 (widget and all).

Any more concerns ask away ;-)
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] neotekz:
if you like to run custom roms and lots of hacks then the atrix is probably not for you, at least not yet until it gets unlocked but the atrix has a lot less problems out of the box than the captivate. Even without all the hacks you can can do all the essentials like rooting, removing bloatware, tethering and sideloading. You can freeze motoblur and use whatever launcher you want from the market.

i like the screen on the atrix more than the captivate. i didn;t like how you can see the pixels so easily on the captivate and websites looks so much better on the atrix. theres advantages to both i guess so you should just go to the store and compare the two to see what you like better.

as for the ram if you use app killer you will have 500mb free but im starting to think that this is unnecessary with the atrix. i used to get warnings on my captivate that i was running out of memory all the time but with the atrix i can have 20 apps open in the background and still have 300mb left.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] commander2k:
Actually with the darky rom (or the kernel, idk which one implemented the mod) they made the the screen much more dim in the dark. So I don't have that problem anymore. But I do know what you're talking about.

And that's really awesome! I didn't realize the motoblur work-around was so easy!! I think I will have my mom get the Atrix, she isn't so technologically savvy, so she won't be worrying about modding it up (but once the mods are out, I will be tinkering). It sounds like the atrix is the truly superior phone as far as specs, and it will probably stand up against other newer phones for quite awhile compared to the Inspire, but I still really like the captivate for the organic LED screen. I prefer it over any lcd screen myself, but everyone is entitled to their own opinions. I think that I may wait a few months and get the Galaxy S 2 or see whatever else is out there at the time. Thank you guys so much for the helpful advice and experience!!!
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] lunaticz0r:
ok so ive had 2 android versions in the last 3weeks..one was without sense(i think) it did not have the pretty design like the desire HD

but rather a square in the middle with 9 smaller blocks in that and TBH that worked way better because I can't even FIND my favorite contacts etc anymore on this desire hd one :/ its way less organized IMO and I would like to have some feedback/opinions on which is better for every day use(I'm looking for simple and clean less is better)

I want it to look like a normal hd so no crazy modding with other buttons etc if you get my drift....

I've tried the cotula one(which was the senseless one) and i liked it but the reason I got a new one was because when i was being called i did not hear any noise+the buzz was not working....no matter what i tried

I now have the DFT stock rom and as i said the stock is kinda...un-logical to me calling/texting/contacts wise :s

so to sum it all up cus im kinda rambling here but its hard for a dumb guy like me(lol) to explain is that I would love to get some suggestions on roms that can be installed by running some .exe (cus i dont understand this new clockworkmod or something) and because the first rom from cotula(spelling?) installed also by just using aMAGLDR and pressing enter haha :P

so if ANYONE would be so kind to just name some roms/link me some roms or names or devs I'd love you for ever! :)

edit almost forgot, how do i instal a new version of aMAGLDR ? i now have aMAGLDR v1.11 build: dec31 2010 05:30:51 by COTULLA 2010

but for some reason when i do usb flasher in the menu ,connect my usb and open a ROMUpdateUtility it gives me 264[ERROR] connection error :/

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] RicarduZonta:
I would recommend to install the americanandroid build with cyanogemnod7.

It doesn't have sense. But it is so freaking fast. Sense makes builds laggy and battery consuming. No robo voice, great battery drain, no wakeup lag.

Easy sd install, nothing complicated clrcad.exe+haret.exe. Everything works, it is impossibly good.

I played a lot with different roms, tried them all, in my opinion this is far the most stable, responsive build built so far. The best: there is no lag when installing apps. It is not a ported rom, it is written for the hd2 itself I read. This makes it sooo good. Dev provides updates usually twice a week, which they work with older data.img files as well.

If you miss the sense funcionality u can use Launcher pro with sense like widgets, and beautiful widgets for the flip clock thing. Uninstall adw launcher first. U can even make the phone to play those beautiful animations when unlocking sense. I use dialer one and go sms instead of the built in stock programs. I really missed t9 search when making calls.

This is how mine looks like. LOVE IT!
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] lunaticz0r:
thanks for your reply and input but I have to say the version you have looks really ugly haha :P esp the music player...looks like some cheap photoshop glow on a play button haha :P

but whats the difference with sd instal and from your phone itself? i now have it installed on my phone i think and people said running from sd makes it slower? :S
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] RicarduZonta:
Looks better on screen, xda page compressed the jpg files when uploading, this is the reason for colours to fade and stuff. The music player is the best on marketplace called power amp.

Just try this one and you'll experience speed. Quadrant scores won't be that high, but overall it is way smoother than other builds.

Don't forget to put phone into airplane mode in Windows mobile. Disable HD2's sense in Windoes mobile. This speeds things up.

It is not UGLY, it is F*ing awesome by the way
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] lunaticz0r:

[HD2 General] Esaj2:
Hi,

I recently sent my HD2 for repair, because it had heat issues and GPS couldn't get a lock. Now I've got my HD2 back, but when I try to use the GPS, it either doesn't find signal at all or when I use for example Google Maps or TomTom, it causes the phone to reboot. I've used the QuickGPS software to get a faster lock, but this doesn't resolve the issue.

Also the heat issues still exist. Whenever I wan't to watch videos etc., the device heats up a lot and causes the phone to reboot. The bottom of the device gets always very hot.

The service center did change the touch screen, chassis and installed "HotFix-update", but these didn't solve anything. Does this mean, that the service center changed wrong parts? What actually can cause heat and GPS freezing/rebooting issues?

I'm now using stock WinMo 6.5 and the ROM version is WWE 3.14 and the radio version is 2.15.50.14.
[HD2 General] johnerz:
Watching video or any activity that constantly uses the screen also uses a lot of battery power and it will get very warm/hot.

Have you tried any other software to test gps usage?

Do you have ALL the settings for Google/gps/locations and maps set up in the correct manner?

Do you have a case or any other protection on the phone - if so remove it

If your ambient temps are high this just compounds any issues with heat
